Forest Wellness

The forest has its own magic. At any time of day, at any season, in any weather. Whether as a playground or a relaxation zone, the forest can be both. On the new forest wellness trail at the Reiterkogel in Hinterglemm we concentrate on the forest with all its health aspects. Let the forest have its effect on you!

This forest is over 200 years old and has over 1,000 spruce trees and a location of 1.700 m above sea level, an ideal altitude for your health. Fill your lungs with fresh forest air. Be at peace. Distance yourself from the fast and hectic pace of everyday life. Feel the good vibes of the forest.

Breathing in the forest air - a good medicine

Scientific research supports the positive effect on our well-being. The forest not only converts CO2 from the air we breathe into pure oxygen, but it has also been proven that forest greenery has an effect on our physical well-being. Researchers have discovered that forest bathing activates the white blood cells and boosts the immune system to fight against germs. Furthermore, the environment in and around the forest help stress-related illnesses as well as heart and cardiovascular diseases, insomnia and depression.

Everyone knows the feeling: You go into the woods, and stress levels sink immediately. This feeling can also be proven biochemically. The two stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline fall significantly after one day in the forest. Here you can be yourself. Expectations, worries and stress simply diminish, and one becomes more creative, problem solving becomes more manageable and concentration levels reach a high.
